Just something that make that selection easier. Tree is better than double panel, but I'm not sure how easy it will be to implement.

I also think that we should have a minimun level of password security and a warning should be issued if this level is not reached ( http://bugs.gobolinux.org/view.php?id=56 ). About the "no extra users" see my reply to Hisham as well as the following bug report ( http://bugs.gobolinux.org/view.php?id=57 ). > > It's the same amount of pages as before (if all pages are used) but > > imo a better flow and more consistant behaviour.

What's bad about EncFS? My view was that it wasn't for encrypting entire partitions, but only for users $HOME, to be used together with PAM. I like the idea of having an encryption scheme that's also reachable from other OSes. I'll look into LUKS when I get some extra time on my hands as I do believe that we should support encryption. -- /Jonas _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
